This is an email from a Troop Leader from the Boy Scouts of America and this just made my day..I am truly humbled by this 15 year old and I am glad I was able to help!!!!!!
Mr. Barnes, Your speech was very powerful to me and I think that when you cupped your hands, it was a very meaningful metaphor, if that’s the word I’m looking for. I admire how you take such pride in your motivational speaking and I would like to tell you that you might not be the firefighter or the police man or the doctor, but you definitely fit into the category of these certain people because you are truly a hero.
Thank you so much for being such a great role model for my troop and I hope you continue to be one for everyone you speak in front of. I would be delighted to answer any more questions you have for me.
Thank you – Andrew P.
